CONGRATULATIONS to our High School Boys
The winter was an exciting time for high school boys' swimming! The WAC hosted the Section V Class A and B Swimming Championships. That made for a lot of fast swimming right here in our own pool! We are so proud of these young men and congratulate them on their accomplishments and other awards. You represented yourselves, your families, and the BlueFins as Champions in and out of the water!
